Amazon RDS for SQL Server Expands BYOM Support to 10 New Regions
Good news for SQL Server fans watching their licensing costs! Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports Bring Your Own Media (BYOM) across 10 additional AWS regions spanning Asia Pacific, Europe, and Mexico. This means you can bring your existing Microsoft SQL Server licenses with active Software Assurance and run them on managed RDS—sweet deal if you've already invested in those licenses. BYOM works with SQL Server 2019, 2022, and 2025, and integrates with AWS License Manager for easy compliance tracking.
